Suffering in Faithfulness

Suffering in Faithfulness

Speaker: Pastor Lee Cummings
Date: May 26, 2024

Church in the Wild is the summer sermon series at Radiant that unpacks 2 Corinthians and Paul's apostolic life, ministry, and relationship to the Church of Corinth. In this sermon, Pastor Lee Cummings gives context to 2 Corinthians, teaches how there will be suffering in remaining faithful to Jesus, and defines three important terms you need to know: apostle, church, and saints. 

Living in “wild” times like the ancient city of Corinth, we are reminded that Paul’s apostolic leadership did not expire 2,000 years ago—but is alive more than ever. As missionaries, planters, and leaders continue to build the body of Christ, God's purpose for establishing churches in cities to be salt and light becomes clear. We are called to be saints—holy ones set apart for God's purposes, even when we face suffering and persecution in this world.
